When you engage in actual fighting (or protesting), try to gain victory before you exhaust your strength. In order to kill the enemy, your men must be aroused to anger and motivated to win.

I am for implementation of the Confab 2014 report or fiscal federalism. resource control or regionalism by ethnicity. but how long shall we agitate?

PointB:
To Ijaws, I'll say:

Let us agree to secede and agree to secede again (if that's what you want) after the secession.

There we stand in the rain and shine shouting our voice hoarse; join us or miss the bus! The window is fast closing...

@bolanto24, preach to Truckpusher.

Truckpusher:
Suddenly he has become a good Ijaw man simply because he spoke in favor of what you want to hear and no longer the ogogoro drinking bastard you've been using to classify the Ijaw people in this forum.

It is only an Ijaw man who doesn't know history will fail to understand that the Igbos, the Hausa/Fulanis and the Yorubas all have one dream and that dream is simple, which is to annex all the minority ethnic groups around them for their resources,land,strategic location and to serve as vassal states in their warped mindset.But here is the truth which you have failed to admit: The minorities of the Niger Delta will not be part of any arrangement where their interests are not well defined and protected and any attempt to force it on them would be met with a fierce resistance at all cost.

Go figure.....

Biafra should be designed as a Confederate nation where every group is a like its own country just like the Scots, the Wales, the English and northern Ireland which all make up the united kingdom. Taxes paid to the federal government with 100% resource control. common currency and common military. Simple.

Presidency is rotational.

Edit: Have three or four capital cities just like south Africa with different administrative purposes

Pazienza: If Biafra be structured the way I personally feel and believe it would be, then no body would even want to host the capital.

If we have a totally autonomous provinces each with their own provincial governor, and total resource control.

I expect a total of like Six provinces, and each province should create as much administrative units as it can take care of.

The central government will be led by a council of the governors of each provinces who Will rotate the leadership of the council amongst themselves in a two years tenure period, such that each province gets to have their governor lead the nation as a president at various points in time.

Under such arrangement, the real power resides within the provinces and not at the centre, and the rotational principle at the centre would also be implemented at the provincial level, such that each administrative unit of any province gets a shot at leading the province.

We can also run three capital cities, the executive at the Northern part of the Akwa-Cross area, the Judiciary at the Igbo region and then the Legislative arm at the Riverine areas.

Each province contribute a percentage of its earning for the running of the central government.

No parasitism.

now that is interesting.

Okay. Sorry for the insults, they were done in anger.

What do you guys want? Table them here.

An ijaw man in the person of GEJ ruled this nation.

What did he do for your youths and your tribe?

You are shouting foul now when the yam and the knife is not in your custody.

To hell with Biafra

Truckpusher:
We do not want anything and we do not want you because we are well aware that the same hatred the Hausa/Fulani man has for us is the same hatred you have for us and it would be grave injustice on ourselves to run away from one form of slavery and marginalization to run into another one between your ramblings and threats coupled with expansionist tendencies which is very clear is the final nail on the coffin and it would amount to supidity to trust anyone that has shown time without numbers that they are capable of doing things you have always feared.

Besides, you are too close for comfort.

Not being in support of secession but lemme clarify sm misconceptions,
if the country breaks same way NnamdI Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello and Awolowo held a conference in the Uk before Zik rejected the secession clause is the same way a conference of the indigenous people of the new nation would hold a conference, in it talks like;
-resource control.
-rotation of power amongst the regions so that one region wont rule forever and dictate to others would be discussed.
-secession clause would be enshrined in the constitution for those who feel aggrieved.
-location of the capital, it would be in the center and must include boundaries from every region.
-tribalism would become outlawed same way racism is outlawed and words like nigga are racist.
My 2cents.

Ugomba:
The rejection of the confab report by the North is an INSULT to the whole country.
It is time to DE-ALMAGAMATE Nigeria.

Truckpusher:
The rejection of the confab report by the North is a clear indication that the North will not bulge to any idea that will move the country forward unless we have to force their hands but you can only force their hands when there is a unity of purpose and not a unity with group who habors the same mindset and agenda like the same North.

We must force the North to the round table but we must have a unity of purpose else let us all remain at their mercy as perpetual slaves.

Its one thing to say they rejected the confab which makes it sound nice but the reality as they said in a press conference is that they dumped it in the dustbin meaning there is no hope for that report to come back in the political discussion. Lets be realistic

bolanto24:


Good. I still don't know why some of my people have not cued to the idea.

PointB:


Hehehehe, actually the picture you painted is the current picture. You have an opportunity to seek something better, rather than grab it, you are still pointing fingers. I fail to see how you can wriggle out of the situation in the Niger Delta especially in the area of resource control, and others. Me think it's easier to get a better deal in Biafra than in Nigeria. Currently Nigeria offer 13% derivative, and from every indication you could get close to 90% in Biafra.

In the end, it's just a matter of time. The oil will run out and when it does, everyone in the South will become expendable to the North; and there will be no bargaining chips. Then the jungle will mature!

basilo101:
It beta for ijaws to work with the igbos for mutual benefits, its beta for u ppl to join the Biafra struggle with an aggreement on resoruce control, its easier to achive that in biafra than in Nigeria. Rememberm igbos also have their own lucrative resource (coal) which the federal govt have tied their hands from exploring

bolanto24:


I think it will be 100% better than this present union cos all cards will be laid out. there will be input on the type of government, resource control, rotational presidency. Are we enjoying it now?

lygn19:

I gave up on secession a long time ago, because people who really need it there reason for not wanting it is not because they are enjoying from Nigeria but because they don't want igbos to have there oil.
The question is, since Igbos have not been having there oil has there land become the london?
oil was found in dubai around d same time it was found in Nigeria/ Niger delta the difference is very clear.
U and I know we Igbos dont want anybodys oil u know deep down inside u, u even know more that if really if there's anything we igboa want its just Sea port that passes through the Niger delta and nothing more.

bolanto24:


my brother u have a point. but I think we should discuss and lay our terms. we will get what we are not and will not get in Nigeria. my opinion
